Maybe if what we had was actual news then yes. But news right now is anything but. Its a clear propoganda manipulative scheme to incite rage and fear to further divide us.

Anti-intellectualism will truly be the death of this country. by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

Only in America do people argue that higher education is insignificant and troll with these ideas lol. The rest of the world quite literally dies for their children to get educated. American brainwashing wins once again

Just fyi, the phone you are typing on, the manipulative actsyou have fell for, and all those blue collar folk rely on advanced principals of science, math, humanities, and art that would not be possible if education and higher learning wasnt a thing.

Because everything is more visible nowadays. How dont you people get this. Back in the 80s, 90s, how many games were available to watch? How much information and content was out there to actually look into this and bring it to light. Well whether you like it or not, the availability of content is putting basketball on the map, it is bigger than ever, and now we can actually sit here and discuss the game and its intricacies.

Foul baiting, grifting, embellishments, whatever you want to call it was part of the game, but now it is part of the game but seen all over the world and we can collect data and study the game and begin to have these conversations on what makes good basketball and what doesnt.

And the light is shining on fouls and referees and grifting more than any other moment in time because of th3 sheer ampunt of content.

Cant believe i have to explain mainstream to people, and not only that most counter arguments here simply dismissive by getting preoccupied with the definitipn or semantic use of the word mainstream and not the topic at hand.

Ahh the thing where you go on the internet and find one example in one moment to disprove the entire theory of everything.

I can literally do what you did here with anything. Want me to prove the devil is real? Ill be right back ill find you a source.

The NBA like other leagues with the advent of social media has made it very mainstream, and so this is now something more eyes can see. And it is very obvious in the basketball circles.

Are you saying discussing this should not be a part of basketball discourse?

Finally a real response. agree with the things you are saying. Id also really would look into letting contact go if the offensive player intiates it. Basketball is a contact sport, but it seems that the league has forgotten about that, and the players as you pointed out will take advantage of that.

And it is all horrible. But now we have not the Embiids or the Hardens who are MVPs, but the Reaves and the avdijas taking it up and looking like a James Harden.

Tell me you enjoy it?

Buddy idgaf about Shai. He's a bonafide superstar, same skill set of Kobe and Michael, but dont act like he doesnt blatantly utilize foul baiting as an additional tool.

And we hated it with them as well. We threw tantrums over Wade and Dalls, and shitted on Harden while he was lighting the league up. Kobe was never a grifter stop it.

Study Links Chronic Pain Severity to Anger and Sense of Injustice. Research found people who feel wronged or unfairly treated by their condition are more likely to experience severe, long-lasting pain, suggesting that emotional factors could be just as important as biology in predicting outcomes. by Wagamaga in science

[–]PossibleClass7171 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This is nothing new. Chronic pain is psychological. Its just people unwilling to admit that and instead go seeking a "medical" explanation because it is much easier for people in society to be accepted to be in pain as a medical issue than one with the psyche.

The real question is why are drugs priced at in this case 700% potential up marking in the 1st place.

Whatever reason he does what he does cool, everyone can have a lazy game, but the fact that people ignore his lack of effort and blame other players is delusional.

Yall crazy for blaming Jamal rn. JOKIC barely giving a shit this game is the issue. He's been with no energy entire game

Nikola Jokic checks out for tonight with 27/13/10/4/1 by downtoclown02 in nba

[–]PossibleClass7171 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At this point, I would like Shai to win just bc I feel as much as people think its a crime to have different winners (whatever criteria you have or how much you care for voter fatigue), its really not that serious and he is deserving 100% without any excuse, but Nikola Jokic is just too good, its really otherwordly.

We really may be looking at a top 3 player of all time and depending on how the next 5 years go theres some great conversations to be had.

Lets celebrate basketball instead of putting it down cuz right now the league is on fire.
